The treatment requires addressing the source of the water, not the internal symptom. If the roof is damaged, the entire waterproofing needs renewal with new roofing felt or a projected liquid polyurethane system. If the facade has structural cracks, they are sealed with elastic sealant and repainted with specific facade paint that covers micro-cracks. Only after ensuring external watertightness do we repair the interior wall. Chemical injection, exterior waterproofing, breathable coating, or ventilation depending on the diagnosis. Rising damp (capillary action), roof leaks, internal condensation, and saltpetre efflorescence. Diagnosis before action.

This is dampness that forms when indoor air, heavy with vapour, touches a cold surface. Typical in kitchens and bathrooms without adequate ventilation, also in rooms exposed to north-facing facades that get colder in winter. It manifests as water droplets on windows, cold room corners, and black mould stains in cold wall areas. This is dampness that rises from the ground through walls due to the capillary action of porous materials. It appears as a damp patch on the ground floor up to a metre high from the ground, often with white efflorescence (salts that crystallise as water evaporates). It's common in old ground-floor properties, especially in areas with a high water table near the sea. There are four types of dampness we commonly see on the Costa Blanca, each with a different cause, diagnosis, and treatment. Confusing them inevitably leads to ineffective treatments and wasted money. That's why we always start with a technical diagnostic visit before providing any quote. The difference between treating dampness correctly or incorrectly changes the durability of the result from five years to six months.
